Hi Ruth
This looks like a Poa species, but we would need to see the whole plant to ID it more accurately. A photo of the plant in situ would also help.

If it is an area of native grasses, it could possibly be Poa sieberiana, simply because it is very common.

Wouldn't call myself a grass expert, but I agree it looks like Poa sieberiana.

The flower/seed head of Poa labillardierei looks exactly the same

I know this patch and it has Poa sieberiana in it and not labillardieri
